a year to the day

walked the walk i walked on this day last year along an overgrown by-way in the Doynton Parish. not much has changed, except one large ivy covered oak had split and half the tree had fallen across the path. it is almost completely hollow but still alive. i saw one gold crest, one long-tailed tit, two deer, two buzzards, one sparrowhawk, one grey squirrel, one human with bike, a large flock of redwings (and the usual suspects: gulls, crows, tits and pigeons). i found a clump of badger fur, the badger set, the plucked feathers of a kill on a fallen tree trunk, an old rusty bucket with a spout and a bird's nest (which I took back to c's studio).
